“Paging Miss Galloway”--An Award-Winning Regency!

Author Susanne Marie Knight is very pleased to announce the release of the 2008 Awe-Struck Regency Award Winner--Paging Miss Galloway, published by Awe-Struck Publishing, www.awe-struck.net.

More Than She Bargained For--
Danielle Galloway is determined to visit her convalescing brother. She won’t let her father’s lack of permission stand in her way. Disguising herself as Danny, a servant boy, she takes to the road to begin her grand adventure...only to have her money stolen and her face battered by street ruffians. Now how will she get to the resort town of Bath?

More Than He Bargained For--
The Earl of Trelaine rescues a down-on-his-luck young lad. Against his better judgment, he takes Danny on as his page as he journeys to Bath. But this boy harbors a shocking secret. What’s the earl going to do when he discovers his latest act of kindness might hurl him into the parson’s mousetrap?

Reviews:
5 Angels! Regency fans will recognize the storyline. A lady disguised as a boy. A lord attracted to the disguised girl. The high jinx that ensues. Except there are enough twists and turns from the standard story to keep Paging Miss Galloway interesting... Paging Miss Galloway is a delightful Regency read.”--Fallen Angel Reviews.

Top Pick Award! Danielle is a character that you can't help but to be drawn to... Her drama along the way was amusing... PAGING MISS GALLOWAY was never boring... This was not a long story, which gave me more incentive to read it fast to see how the ending turned out. I was not disappointed.”--Romance Reader at Heart.

4.25 Stars! Susanne Knight does a wonderful job of weaving a story of two mismatched lovers who quickly have readers hoping for them to find their way to each other. This is a wonderful romp through Bath that leaves the reader eagerly turning pages to see what Danielle and Edward will do next. ... This wonderful Regency romance ... leaves us wanting more.--Night Owl Romance Book Reviews.

Time To Get Busy

One really cool thing about a New Year is that the slate's been wiped. It's a chance to start afresh--finish old projects and begin new ones. So, with that in mind, for a limited time, you can download my 2009 Romance Writing with a Twist Calendar for FREE. Below is an image of it. All you have to do is visit www.susanneknight.com/mainpage.htm, then click on the spot for the PDF calendar.

And, to wrap up 2008, I've complied all my Living in the Romance Writing with a Twist World for last year and have assembled them into a slim book that looks like this:

If you'd like to order a copy, just visit www.susanneknight.htm/orders.htm. ALSO, as I mentioned in the last blog, 2009 is a special year for me because I've now been published for ten years!!! To celebrate, I’m having a “buy two books, get one FREE” sale! This sale is only available from sales on my website. Visit www.susanneknight.com/Orders.htm for the order form. Choose any three books; the least expensive book will be FREE. Shipping and handling for three books is $6.00. Total your order and send check or money order (US funds) to the address on the order form. Sorry, books can only be shipped to addresses in the USA. Be sure to “buy two books, get one FREE!”

Now, with that out of the way, what's REALLY been happening in my Living in the Romance Writing with a Twist World?? Well, an opportunity has come my way to start a murder mystery series featuring a fitness instructor. Minx Tobin is her name, and she has a knack for solving puzzles--puzzles concerning unexpected dead bodies.

Minx's adventures are based in Los Angeles, so I get to escape all this snow outside... at least while I'm writing. :)) Case One is finished: The Bloodstained Bistro. I've just started Case Two.

So stay tuned for adventures in L.A. as Minx gets involved with The Ill-gotten Insurance.
